Faculty/Author Profile

Michael Bartuska

Deloitte Touche LLP

Audit Senior Manager

San Francisco, CA, USA

I am a senior manager in our Technology and Consumer Business practices with over eight years of audit experience. I have extensive experience serving public companies within the Consumer Business industry; and—since having transferred to the San Francisco office in 2015—I have experience serving venture-backed growth enterprises within the Technology industry.

While on these engagement, I’ve developed a strong understanding of complex accounting issues, particularly relating to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense, and business combinations, as well as other highly subjective areas, including but not limited to self-insurance reserves and pension and postretirement benefit liabilities. In addition, I have experience related to the offering of securities in both the private and public markets and assisting on other SEC filings.

I am also an Engagement Quality Control Reviewer (EQCR) assistant for several other clients and enjoy facilitating audit training seminars for our young professionals, both locally and at Deloitte University.

In the last year, I have begun to advise client on technical matters which includes revenue recognition, business combinations, consolidation, leases, and many other topics to assist them in applying U.S. GAAP to their financial statements.
